  "account": "PT Transnusa Aviation Mandiri, Transnusa, has added a new flight route connecting Jakarta and Bangkok. The inaugural service commenced on Thursday, August 6, 2026, with twice daily flights. The CEO, Datuk Bernard Francis, expressed optimism that this route would enhance connectivity between Indonesia and Thailand, offering travelers greater flexibility and access to the international flight network through Bangkok. All flights are operated through Suvarnabhumi Airport, Thailand's primary international hub. Upon the route's launch, Transnusa introduced competitive fares starting at Rp2,799,000 for one-way tickets, aiming to provide more options for both tourists and business travelers. The airline has already been serving international routes to Singapore, Malaysia, China, and Australia, with a target of maintaining a 75 percent passenger occupancy rate for the Jakarta-Bangkok route within the first two months. Should the demand continue to grow, the target may rise to 80 percent. Datuk Bernard is confident that the successful deployment of the Jakarta-Bangkok route will serve as a solid foundation for Transnusa's future international expansion plans, including the launch of a direct flight from Bali to Phuket on September 9, 2026.",
